3. An update on his knee.<\/p>\n

Omenihu had a career performance in 2023 after he signed with the Chiefs. He recorded seven sacks with 11 quarterback hits, and he sacked Lamar Jackson in the AFC Championship.<\/p>\n

Omenihu tore his ACL moments later, however, which forced him to miss the team’s Super Bowl win and a significant portion of the 2024 season. Recovery from such an injury can be mentally and physically trying, but Omenihu kept a positive attitude throughout the process.<\/p>\n

“Honestly, right now, I’m steady, I’m cool,” Omenihu said.<\/a> “I got to be like this. I kind of keep myself like that, just stay plain, and we’ll get to the point where I ramp it up like that.”<\/p>\n

Omenihu didn’t return to the lineup until Week 13 of the 2024 season, although he was only used in a reserve role. He started to look more like himself in the playoffs, when he sacked C.J. Stroud in a 23-14 win over the Houston Texans. Last season was even more of a return to form, as he racked up 3.5 sacks and 28 tackles.<\/p>\n

Now, it appears that Omenihu is perfectly healthy, as he told local reporters that his knee is “perfectly fine.”<\/p>\n

“I feel great. I think, two years removed now, any small…hiccups here or there will be gone,” Omenihu said. “You got some time before the season starts to really iron out anything else. But overall, I feel great — just as good or even better than before I got hurt.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"3. An update on his knee.
